I've begun doing Favorite Photo blog posts on the Through the Lens page on this website as well as posts on this page for the purpose of making the website more interactive. In this one, I combine both and look forward to getting your opinions.

First, the favorite photo. This was taken with film in approximately 2003 in Qingdao, China. The older woman looking out towards the century-old German built lighthouse intrigued me because of her apparent absorption in her thoughts and memories.

Second, we were split in my household over whether it works better as a black and white or color photograph.
